Two dead in bizarre 'ninja bike' shooting in Winnipeg

POLICE in Winnipeg warned residents to lock themselves in their homes on Sunday as they searched for a man who shot dead two people and injured a third in a bizarre shooting spree.

Local media reported that the suspect was believed to have shot at his victims from a bicycle, using a sawed-off shotgun.
Police spokesman Jason Michalyshen told the Winnipeg Free Press that citizens should not open doors to unexpected visitors.
"It seems to be random shootings in the North End," Michalyshen told reporters. "We don't know where this individual is at this point. This is a very serious incident. It is unique and very unfortunate."
One witness told the paper the shooter was dressed as "a ninja".
